Hello all! I am new to the forum and have a quick question. I am looking for a rod and reel to go surf shark fishing in SC. I was thinking about getting a Daiwa BG 8000 reel and a 10 foot heavy Tica rod. Do you think those two would be good choices for shark fishing? My price point is $200-$300 total.

Thanks and let me know what advise/ suggestion y'all may have!

Depends on what size sharks your after?

Some parts of sc don't allow shark fishing,so look up your regs before hand.

What ipnurwater said. Look up reg's first. When i'm only targeting sharks, I use a heaver A 12' Penn Battalion rod, H 4-10 oz conventional with a Penn 990 mag casting reel. sometimes this don't seem enough, small to med, up to 6 ' it's fine, after that i wish i had a Penn 116 or a monster 119. But i couldn't handle that from the beach. One time i had a big Bull shark on the hook, That was great but i had to cut the line to let him go before he tore my tackle up, I mean he was big, I didn't want to get spooled. :fishing:
